.FREDERICK M. WILDMAN, OF BETHEL, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND JOHN S.FAYERWEATHER, OF RIDGEFIELD STATION, CONNECTICUT.

Letters Patent No. 107,144, dated September 6, 18.70.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part ofthesame To all whom 'it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FREDERICK M. W1LDMAN,-of` Bethel, in the county ofFairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Printers Galleys, of which thefollowing is a l'ull,clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawing tin-ming part of this specification, and in whieb- Figure lrepresents a plan vof a printers galley constructed in accordance withmy improvement;

Figure 2, a vertical longitudinal section ot' the same through a.furniture strip used therein ,and

Figure 3, a transverse section thereof throughthe line :t :vin l. g

Similar letters of' reference indicate corresponding parts.

My invention consists in a combination of areversely-coustructedfurniture-strip, a reversely-ooustructed galley side, and connectedquoins, whereby increased facility is alforded for securing the type inthe galley, or for' altering or removing it, and greater protectionsecured against loss or misplacement of the furniture.

Referring to the accompanying drawing- A represents the base ofthegalley, and

B B', its side ledges.

C is a longitudinally arranged furniture strip, disposed to lie inproximity to the ledge l of the galley, to the base A of which it maybeattaehed to a'slotted plate, a, and screw b, in such manner as toadmit ot' its heilig slid or adjusted across the base, and whereby it isprevented from becoming detached or lost.

C next to said ledge, are of a reverse construction,

being made up of reversely-disposed iucliues c o', so

that, on oppositely-tapering or arranged quoins D DI being introducedbetween said ledge and strip, they serve, on being forced outward fromeach other, in direction of' the lengthof the galley, to wedge up thefurniture strip C 'against the type with a counteracting pressure, asregards any shifting action ou the strip longitudinally, and, on saidquoins being forced inward, or toward each other, they provide for theloosening of the strip; also, draw the` slip away from the type byconnecting the quoins with the ledge B and strip C, as throughlip-shaped projections d d, arranged on the bottoms of said quoins, andmade to fit and travel within longitudinally-arranged grooves c c iu thebottoms of the ledge B and strip C, and of a reverse constructioncorrespoluling to the reverselyconstructed sides of said le( ge andstrip. 4

What is here claimed, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is-

The quoins D, constructed with lip-'shaped projeotions d d, to travelwithin grooves `e e in the under side of the chase B and strip C, so asto expand or contract the galley, as specified.
